Anyone seen where you can buy salt tolerant seed potatoes?

I don't have salty soil, but I thought this was a very interesting article....

I wonder how the flavour / texture is affected?

Very interesting, Nicos. Thanks. I like that sort of thinking outside the box. Hope its successful.
Its also inspiring me to sow the Sea Aster seeds I bought a little while ago

IIRC International kidney aka jersey royal are mulched with seaweed. I assume that has some salt left on.

I thought the EU had stopped them using seaweed and that's why the taste has gone down hill in recent years.

Possibly - it was something I'd read ages ago.

Pretty sure they still use it.
